It is 2008 and the Presidential race is on!

In anticipation of the November 4th election, in 2007, CPPPS established Active ’08, ACC’s student-run voter registration group. Active ’08, members of Student Life, the Student Government Association, and other student groups were trained by Adam Fogel, the Right to Vote Director of FairVote.org to disseminate information about the voter registration process, register students to vote, and to help students become more familiar with their local and national representatives. Faculty advisor, Cathy Setzer, ACC’s Adjunct Government professor, and Shea Warton, its President and student coordinator, head Active ’08. All of the groups are hearing exhilaration and anticipation from the students they encounter. It is an exciting time for America and young people are making their voice heard.

In order to make sure that your voice is heard:

Don’t miss your opportunity to register through the voter registration efforts that are occurring on all seven ACC campuses. The next cycle of registration events begins March 4, 2008. To date, ACC has registered almost 1,000 students. Please go to the following web sites to see campuses’ schedules, and for information about becoming a part of the registration and election process:

• Active 08 web site
• ACC’s Student Life calendar
• ACC’s Student Government

Not including the April 8th Primary Runoff, the deadline to register to vote for the May 10th Election is April 10th. The deadline to register to vote in the Presidential Election is October 6th.
